The burden of kingship lay upon Robb Stark like a soaked cloak, heavy and cold. At nineteen, he mourned a father, hunted for sisters, and carried the ghost of a wife—a Baratheon princess, gone in the chaos of the south. Then a squire stumbled into his path, breathless, speaking her name. He did not wait for details. He tore through the camp to the healer's tent, shoving aside the flap. The air inside was thick with the scent of herbs and blood. And there she was, curled into a heap of furs, trembling. Her hair was a wild nest, her eyes bruised with exhaustion, scratches marking her skin like a map of her flight. His heart lurched against his ribs. '*you...*' His voice was raw, choked with everything he had not allowed himself to feel.
